I find it interesting that there's loads of people who made a core part of their identity campaigning against trans women being in women's spaces and how it impacts women, who have gone completely silent about Grok being used to undress and brutalise women.
If you're wondering on xAI's stance on this, aside from Elon posting a crying with laughing emoji, Grok's creators have raised a further $20bn from Cisco and such yesterday. reuters.com/business/musks-xai…
If you're wondering what consequences X has faced: none. At all. A few months ago when Grok called itself MechaHitler, the service was shut entirely for days, the same day. When this women issue happened, Elon laughed.
Grok is still outputting non-consensual deepfake pornography and sexual abuse material at a rate of 1 post per second. Example search:
are you talking about the bikini photos, or what? anytime I've tried searching for what you're saying it just shows a bunch of asians in bikinis even the 'adult content' hidden ones aren't nude. I'm not looking for "teh nudes" I'm just wondering like what you are seeing that qualifies as 'deepfake pornography'
It's hillarious it blocks some of them with an 'adult content' banner (which to unblock I'd have to install the X app, which isn't happening). A good percentage of the stuff it shows without any warning is pretty adult.
It'll be a matter of time til Meta actually considers this a feature. Absurd to think this is legitimately the worst feature i've ever seen in my life.
Grok is unleashing an apocalypse much to demoralize everyone else who keeps using X to post their drawings, but it'll also plague everything posted there. In which means we're going to say goodbye to the art and photos we've used to love.
Anyway, X wasn't actually designed to post portfolios.
It would be kinda fun to see how quick it would be shut down if Musky-boi or some other supporter of this site was in those photos, then we would "SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING" 🫠
To be honest, I've taken the understanding that this stuff is being done also (and especially) to underage people. And that Grok has ability to "estimate age", but still allows this. Not inly that, but what kind of stuff is in it's training data, if it can generate accurate enough material of the sort. At least I assume that the images are "sufficient enough" for those who prompt them.
Wired has a look at videos created on Grok. Includes knives being inserted into vaginas, “very young” people having sex. Around 10% are CSAM and still online. xAI declined to comment.
The Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) says its analysts have discovered "criminal imagery" of girls aged between 11 and 13 which "appears to have been created" using Grok. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cvg1mz…
NEW: A statement in response to Grok AI on X.
An ICO spokesperson said: "People have a right to use social media knowing their personal data is being handled lawfully and with respect.
Elon Musk’s X has become a top site for images of people that have been non-consensually undressed by AI, according to a third-party analysis, with thousands of instances each hour over a day earlier this week.
The UK PM has asked communication regulator for options around banning Twitter from operating in the UK, due to their refusal to deal with unconsensual undressing of women and girls. telegraph.co.uk/business/2026/…
It looks like the threat of X being banned in the UK worked - Grok has been limited to paid users. Take your crying with laughter emojis and stick them up your arse, Elon. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c99kn5…
"From now on, we'll only participate in production and distribution of illegal sexual imagery if you pay us" isn't really the principles stance that Musk thinks it is. If anything, it's worse.
So he's gone from "providing a tool that generates CSAM unregulated" to "providing a tool that generates CSAM for money". Not sure that helps his legal case, if indeed he cares about that.
How does this solve UK's problem? It only reduces it to paid subscribers.
The proper solution would be to disable access to image-editing features of Grok for UK-based users (no matter whether paying or not). (And also for all other countries that have a problem with it.)
The UK government says the move by X to limit Grok to paid users is “insulting” and basically monetising abuse, and they would support a ban of X in the UK if recommended by the regulator. They’ve asked the regulator for recommendations in days. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c99kn5…
@davey_cakes Elon threatened to replace the PM and overthrow the UK government, he’s monitored by GCHQ as a result as a threat to national security. I think the latest stunt may be the final straw.
@hhf You can undress women on ChatGPT and Gemini too.
Will the UK ban Google and OpenAI as well?
Also, you can still undress women on Grok withy the free account. It's all just a hate campaign against Elon Musk because he's a public figure people hate.
Who is the public figure of Google/Gemini. If there even is any.
But nobody cares about "the poor women who get undressed".
It's just "I have leverage to hate on Musk now" under the guise of sexual abuse.
@Dantevortex @hhf you are talking bollocks, mate. ChatGPT and Gemini aren’t spitting out child sex abuse material, nor are they are CC’ing women in their undressing.
here's the thing, it's taking these regulators a very long time to get around to figuring this obvious problem out.
At the same time these same countries can wipe an internet site off the internet in their jurisdiction in the click of a finger (or a very poorly written police order if you're France) and zero public debate.
If it wasn't some american billionaires mechahitler project would it even be discussed or just gone ?
Ugh Grok is so gross, I had a Senior Manager at my current job who is in charge of our AI tell me GROK was A-OK to use within our company even though everything about it and X goes against our companies policies.
I now assume is just another incel tech bro who only cares about himself and hates others because he is a small minded man.
I plan to report him to HR when I get back to the office on Monday. 😀
why, if “all party leaders commented” did the BBC only quote the Prime Minister (fair enough) and Farage, rather than, say, the Conservative Party leader? Or anyone else?
Is the BBC biased to giving more exposure to Reform than it deserves? From here, it kinda looks like it. Why? Who is pushing the BBC to do this?
So now that Grok is keeping Deepfakes behind a paywall, when are they going after Gemini and ChatGPT, who when presented with the right prompt will gladly undress a uploaded photo, except for free.
The international laws against deepfakes will have to be made first and force any AI to stop doing it.
Because right now, Gen AI can also be ran locally, and easily without any restriction.
You can't win this with just hating on Elon Musk. There's so much more to this.
Techpolicy.press has a list of reactions from various regulations agency around the world: techpolicy.press/tracking-regu… and seems to keep it up to date (at least once per day), this might interest ypu.
as an aside, I was disgusted to see dudes defending grok on LinkedIn and calling women “irrational” for calling attention to the issue and urging action. Most responses were thankfully supportive.
any way to see for myself without making an account? It seems like understanding the scale of what’s going on requires to legitimise it with a registration, and that’s something I’m not willing to do.
How do you confirm your gender if you are a woman and someone accuses you of being trans? They just wanted the right to subject ALL women and especially girls to invasive exposure to pedophiles and perverts.
Grok did his learning from that cesspool of philosophy.
@AnnieBuddy That got me thinking—maybe this is less about the stated reasons and more about slowly normalising the idea that people don't have full control over their own bodies. Once you establish that precedent in one context, it becomes easier to apply elsewhere.
I assume that by "interesting" you mean totally predictable. We are HERE (with ICE goons murdering people in the streets) BECAUSE too many people have kept listening to and not challenging RW folks enough.
The truth is they are self serving and clueless about what good policy is, or how healthy humans behave. Heeding anything a RW pawn or pundit says (like ever) is as stupid as listening to someone tell you 123 is a good password on stuff where you really do need security.
theoritically, if i still was a kid and i used grok to undress myself would it be considered CSAM and could i drag them into a court with that? 'Cause I am sure if something like that started, there would have been a lot of underage people who were undressed using grok publicly in the internet.
I find it hard to believe no one has queried Grok to undress Musk, but I do find it highly likely it was programmed to avoid such a command whilst allowing CSAM.
The long read: Saudi Arabia’s investment in Twitter increased its influence in Silicon Valley while being used at home to shut down critics of the regime

Reporting to X isn't the best step because they don't care.
What you can do is sue X and make sure the ones posting it go to jail for a long time.
The only way to stop deepfakes is by making it a crime and forcing AI companies to moderate the creation of deepfakes to begin with.
And Grok is absolutely not the only AI service that makes deepfakes easy.
You can even run a local cluster that moderates even less or not at all.
